What happens to "enemies next to lovers"?!? I don't want to criticize but in today's YA books the "enemies" part is cut off entirely. She thinks he is the most handsome man since the.first.time.she.saw.him. And he wants her from the moment he lays eyes on her?!? And I ask what's going on? I don't see at what point in the book they are enemies. And the fact that I read the same male main character in every YA book, I don't think to comment on it at all.
But, look, Susan Dennard is the Queen of ,,enemies to lovers". Safiand Merick had a fight the first time they met and continued to fight for quite a long time before they decided they liked each other. Aeduan and Iseult....well Aeduan tried to kill her and Iseult's first words to Aeduan are something like beheading him. In both couples, sympathy emerges with difficulty slowly, and during that time at least there is chemistry.
This is how enemies become lovers.
Without stereotypes and clichés.

idk, upon rereading truthwitch, i wonder if safi and merik actually aren't going to be endgame like i'd originally assumed. like, when iseult is thinking about the heart-threads, it's always in a potentiality -- like they are forming, but not formed. they could be heart-threads. but they were parted, and life goes on. there was a possibility there, but it fizzled out with time and distance.
idk if safi is going to end up with anyone at all, tbh, and at this point, i don't think i really want her to. maybe it ends with her and merik re-introducing themselves to each other, to see if there could be something there, after the events of the story? or maybe it ends with her and caden reaching out to each other now that the hell-bards are free? (i do believe that caden is either in love with safi or on his way to it, and i'm on the fence as to whether or not he'll survive the finale.) or just with safi finally free to choose her own fate, no longer someone else's pawn or ace up their sleeve.
i'm not of the opinion that safi and/or iseult will die -- i don't feel like this is the kind of story where one of them die, and i don't feel like aeduan will, either. i definitely think aeduan and iseult have suffered enough and it would be a betrayal of the narrative to kill either of them when they're finally starting to come to peace and find love. if one of the main four is going to die, i think it will be merik, in killing the fury -- he and kullen, thread-brothers to the end.
idk, truthwitch set up safi/merik but the rest of the series kinda dropped it, and i'm not sure that wasn't intentional. like, it's one of those almosts, you know? the guy you met over the summer, felt a connection to, had a few deep conversations with over a case of beer in front of a fire pit, imagined that he might be the one for you... but then the semester started up and you went back to college and lost contact with him, and... that was that.
i just don't see it actually happening anymore, at least before the end of the story. it's an almost. a could-have-been. at best, the ending may give them a chance to start again, but i just don't think they're the same people anymore. what they had was ended by circumstance and they've spent three books (well. two, for merik) changing and growing totally apart from one another. i don't think they're incompatible now, i still think they could connect with each other, but the connection that they had formed was between two people that they aren't anymore. they'd have to start over.
idk, i just really like safi/merik as a whirlwind could-have-been romance that got torn apart before it could become something that would have survived the distance.

Heyyy everyone!
I love reading books but never seem to have a bookmark. I can actually remember the page numbers where I stop reading and have no problem going back to the correct page, but bookmarks are fun!
And though it's a very simple one, I made a bookmark for myself with my absolute favourite phrases from the Witchlands series by Susan Dennard!

Iseult: I’ll be fine, Safi. You forget that I taught you the art of evisceration.
Safi: Is that so, dear Threadsister? Have you already forgotten that it was me they called The Great Eviscerator back in Veñaza City?
Iseult: Is that what you thought they said? It was actually The Great Vociferator, Safi, because that mouth of yours is so big.

“I’m Safiya fon Hasstrel, and I can do anything.” As those words fell from her tongue, her magic perked up... and then purred like a lion in a sunbeam. True, it said. Always and forever true.

get to know me meme: favourite ships 1/6  - Safi & Merik
“How is that for service? Do you know how many men onboard would kill for the use of a spoon?" "And do you know," she retorted, "how many men I can kill with a spoon?”

Iseult's stuttering and Safi's inability to count are very special to me

The witchlands ships on a movie night
Safi x Merik - Chapter 24 of Safi, No
Aeduan x Iseult - constant agonizing over whether they’re sitting too close or glancing over at each other too much to be plausible 
Vivia x Stix - about halfway through, Stix reaches out and holds Vivia’s hand.  It’s not at a particularly scary or tense scene, she just does it.  And Vivia certainly isn’t going to let go, so they’re holding hands for the rest of the movie
Ryber x Kullen - for them, watching a movie is basically just an excuse to sit super close and cuddle for two hours.  The Rook watches the movie from Kullen’s shoulder
Safi x Caden - they don’t get to actually enjoy the movie because Caden spends the whole time relentlessly criticizing the actors 
Vivia x Vaness - they rarely have the time to watch movies together, but when they do it’s just a calming way to rewind for both of them
